both nog's need to retire, his back must be pretty bad if he's pulling out 4 months before fight

My exact thoughts. It's November 1st and the fight was scheduled for mid March. I mean how bad is the injury if he's pulling out of the fight now? You'd figure he would give it a month and see how he was doing and go back to training around December and still have a solid 13 weeks to train, but just seems like he threw in the towel already. Not to mention it's the 2nd time he pulled out of a fight with Goose.

I know he's a big name and all, but if a guy has pulled out of more fights than he's actually fought in the UFC, it might be time to let him go.

I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
